I usually love being silly in my craft introductions, but I feel too serious on such a solemn a solemn day to make light. Please take a moment today to give a silent thought for all the sacrifices made so that right now we are able to live such happy lives. Give hugs to your loved ones and honor our fallen. Make an American flag and other Memorial day crafts with your kids and God Bless you and your family.
